If a male corporate manager wants to invite a sexual harassment lawsuit in 2014, he will electronically send a photograph of a penis to a female co-worker.

If this bozo has any worries about failing on this crazy mission, he would also email or text graphic requests for sex as well as tie work issues to lewd acts.

In her Dec. 1 federal lawsuit, Orange County's Rachel Kremer claims she was the victim of such illegal conduct while working in the Irvine office of Zillow, Inc., a place she says had "a pervasive culture of degrading women" and resembled an "adult frat house."

Zillow spokesperson Jill Simmons said company officials are aware of the case.

"Zillow takes any allegations about our work environment very seriously," said Simmons. "When this allegation was first made, we immediately investigated these claims and, as a result, took quick action and terminated a sales employee in our Irvine office. The allegations in the complaint do not reflect Zillow's culture or workplace and are completely inconsistent with our values. We don't tolerate harassment of any kind."

Sadly for Seattle-based Zillow, however, Kremer hired celebrity/TV mouthpiece lawyer Mark Geragos and attached as court exhibits a copy of the offending penis photograph as well as the following messages from company officials she claims fired her in August after she refused sexual advances:

--Gave her an unwelcomed email advertisement for a "Doc Johnson Mood Flirty Vibrator."

--Told her she could change her office computer password only if she supplied "a boob photo."

--Proposed "dinner, drinks" at a Newport Beach bar and then access to her "smooth vagina."

--Wrote, "Wanna blow me and have sex tonight?" in a text message.

--Wrote, "Fuck me," in another text message.

--Asked her to "sit on" his face in a third message.

--Wondered in print if other male employees were masturbating to her picture.

"Sadly for Ms. Kremer, by not participating in this culture, she felt she would be outcast and terminated," the lawyer wrote in the court filing. "Eventually, after experiencing the most heinous acts of sexual harassment imaginable, Ms. Kremer was terminated. Zillow attempted to cover up their conduct by having Ms. Kremer sign a confidentiality agreement and release. Ms. Kremer brings this action based on the sexual torture she endured and for the other women who have been silenced at Zillow and remain exposed to horrific and unthinkable acts."

Lawyers for Zillow, a real estate services company, have not yet filed a response inside the Ronald Reagan Federal Courthouse in Santa Ana.

But Simmons said the company's culture--a place that has repeatedly won "best workplace" honors given by media outlets in Washington and California--can withstand scrutiny.

"It's incredibly important to us to create and maintain a work environment that is safe, comfortable and inclusive for everyone," she said. "Our people are our greatest asset as a company, and we take great pride in our strong culture and reputation as a best place to work."

Orange County has a recent history of scandals involving brazenly immature conduct. In 2010, for example, a black businessman and regular customer at a Newport Beach restaurant noticed a white bartender had repeatedly given him credit card receipts that called him racist names like "McStinkyNi**er," "McNigShit," and "McCottenwood."

R. Scott Moxley’s award-winning investigative journalism has touched nerves for two decades. An angry congressman threatened to break Moxley’s knee caps. A dirty sheriff promised his critical reporting was irrelevant and then landed in prison. Corporate crooks won’t take his calls. Murderous gangsters mad-dogged him in court. The U.S. House of Representatives debated his work. Pusillanimous cops have left hostile messages using fake names. Federal prosecutors credited his stories for the arrest of a doctor who sold fake medicine to dying patients. And a frantic state legislator literally caught sleeping with lobbyists sprinted down state capital hallways to evade his questions in Sacramento. Moxley has won Journalist of the Year honors at the Los Angeles Press Club and been named Distinguished Journalist of the Year by the LA Society of Professional Journalists.
